The information for the 2015 Ford Mustang, 2015 Dodge Challenger and 2015 Chevrolet Camaro is pretty much all available and while the world is focused on the higher performance models, I thought that this would be a good time to compare the most affordable versions of the three American muscle cars – in their entry level, V6 forms.

Later last night I saw what I believe to be a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS near the General Motors Proving Grounds and when the driver climbed into the throttle as he or she sped away, it sounded pretty healthy – very much like the C7 Corvette Stingray which pulled out behind it and quickly climbed to speed as well.

While we were so focused on the news that the 2015 Ford Mustang will almost surely come in Shelby GT350 trim with a new 5.2L V8 engine, we looked over another interesting piece of information in the dealership parts guide images posted by Mustang6g.com – the mention of a new “Boss Racing” package that has us wondering whether there could be a new Boss road car or if it will be another road racing special.

After ending its collaboration with Tesla on the RAV4 EV and repeatedly declaring its allegiance to fuel cells, it certainly doesn’t seem like Toyota is interested in another partnership with Tesla. Not so fast, says Elon Musk.

The configurator page for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat officially went live last night so you can now price out your dream Hellcat, but far more importantly, the automaker is now taking dealer and consumer orders on the most powerful American production car ever.

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has quickly become one of the bestselling sports cars in the world, but the long term test vehicle belonging to the folks from Car & Driver blew an engine just 6,000 miles in – and the problem is one that could affect other C7 Corvette owners under very normal driving conditions.

In order to help boost lagging sales, the Chrysler Group has cut the 2015 Dodge Viper pricing by $15,000 across the entire model lineup while also re-issuing pricing for the 2014 model year SRT Vipers that are currently unsold and to help cushion the blow of this huge price cut, the company will also issue $15,000 new car vouchers to those 2014 Viper owners who paid the old price.

The 2015 Dodge Viper Time Attack 2.0 has gotten a handful of features that are reminiscent of the previous generation Viper ACR and a few more ponies – all of which should help make this street legal/track purposed supercar a bit faster around the world’s road courses in an effort to back up records set by the old ACR package.

The economic incentive package dangled in front of Tesla for constructing the Gigafactory in Reno, Nevada is more generous than many expected. Yet there is another more important reason Nevada was chosen.

While General Motors hasn’t had much (or anything) to say about the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, we can make guesses as to what we will see when the 6th gen F Body arrives by looking at the features of the current Corvette – including the new 8-speed automatic transmission that will make the Camaro quicker and more efficient.

One of my regular readers emailed me the picture above of a 2015 Ford F150 Lightning rendering, asking me if it something like this is coming and while I don’t know if we are likely to see a new Lightning for the new model year – this image definitely shows that the 2015 F150 could be converted into one great looking sport truck.
